When small-town girl Ruth falls in love, opposition to her 'foreign' boyfriend becomes the least of her troubles. When tragedy strikes, her mother-in-law, Naomi, is her rock. Together they move back to Naomi's 'country', where Ruth builds a new life and risks romance again. This timeless tale of love, loss, and a life turned around twice, is a stand-alone novel based on the Old Testament Book of Ruth, and retells her story in a contemporary setting.
